“Corsair Over Grosse Ile”

USMC Squadron VMF 251, flew the Goodyear produced FG-1D Corsair from Grosse Ile Naval Air Station from 1946 to 1950. In 1950, the unit was activated for the Korean War. Before deploying to Korea, VMF-251 converted to the Douglas A-1D Skyraider. Our Corsair will bear the markings of VMF-251 as it appeared while assigned to Grosse Ile.
